The Color of Thinking

NARRATOR:
In the center of the case sits a classic 3×3 Rubik’s Cube—
a pocket-size universe that has humbled presidents, professors, and perfectly confident ten-year-olds.
It’s the kind of toy that whispers:
“Go ahead. Touch me.
I will teach you something about yourself.”

[SFX: A TINY CLICK. LIKE PLASTIC TURNING—JUST ONCE.]

NIGHT WATCHMAN (startled):
…Did you just…?

RUBIK’S CUBE (CALM, PRECISE):
You heard correctly.

NIGHT WATCHMAN:
You talk?

RUBIK’S CUBE:
Only when the building stops pretending it’s busy.

NIGHT WATCHMAN:
All right, then.
Who—what—are you, exactly?

RUBIK’S CUBE:
A puzzle.
A mirror.
A small, stubborn cathedral for the human attention span.
NIGHT WATCHMAN:
That’s… a lot to put on a little cube.

RUBIK’S CUBE:
So are the expectations.
